A/N: Just a filler chapter…not sure what to do yet I had to post something! So ya please R&R!
I stirred as something fell on my head. I opened my eyes and dug my way out of the mountain of bloodied sheets piled on top of me. Iggy pulled on my sleeve and helped me up. Once I was free I lead him to the door of the laundry chute. It was unlocked yet I pressed my ear against the cold steel of the door. Loud voices were coming our way. Shrinking back I pressed myself against Iggy's chest. He wrapped his arms around me holding me close. We remained silent, him pressed closely to the wall behind him, me crouched between his legs his arms wrapped around me. The stench of anesthetics and bloodied linens over powered my sense making my nose itch. I refrained from sneezing, silently praying that they would walk away.
After what seemed like an eternity the voices faded away. Carefully Iggy removed his arms from their death grip around my shoulders. With painfully cautious movements I turned to face him. His eyes gleamed in the dim light.
"What should we do?"
My whisper was barely audible but Iggy cringed slightly. He wrapped his arms around my torso and pulled me into a warm hug. I stared, wide eyed at the wall behind him. His voice broke as he whispered.
"I'm going to keep my promise. No matter what, I'm going to get you out of here."
Tears stung at my eyes and I clung to him tighter. The feeling of truth in his words broke me. He pushed me back wiping away the tears that had fallen on his shirt. He moved to sit up and hit his head. He scrunched up his face and sat back down.
"Do you know where we are?"
I scanned through my memory. When I was young, another boy and I had to fold sheets in the laundry room outside. That was in D wing, first floor. Two floors up is the hall connecting us to C wing. This holds all the supplies which means there would be a loading dock on the underground level with a passage to the metro system. The map I was making in my mind wasn't the most reliable, with bloodied memories littering each pathway, but it was all we had.
"We're in D wing, first floor."
"We need to get to the metro!"
"That's C wing, underground."
"I know…Here's what were going to do."
My breath was coming in quick gasps. In the darkness their eyes twinkled red, searching. A scream resonated in the room. Eyes darting around I sprinted forward. A sharp pain shot through my head and I cried out.
"Run!"
